AsymmeTree
AsymmeTree is an open-source Python library for the simulation and analysis of phylogenetic scenarios. It includes a simulator for species and gene trees with heterogeneous evolution rates, nucleotide and amino acid sequences with or without indels, as well as whole genomes/proteomes.
Moreover, it includes a matplotlib-based visualization of the simulated trees as well as tools for the extraction of information from the simulated scenarios such as orthology, best matches, and xenology.
The library is primarily designed to explore and validate mathematical concepts, and to test inference methods for various steps on the way to more realistically-available data, i.e., dated gene trees, additive distances of gene sets, noisy distances and finally sequences.
Installation and usage
The package requires Python 3.10 or higher.
The asymmetree package is available on PyPI:
pip install asymmetree
See also the page Installation in the documentation.
The AsymmeTree documentation contains a user manual with example code as well as the API reference.
